The check for supported modules in X710/XL710 is done in the FW, so unfortu= nately there is nothing we can do in the driver to add that functionality. = There is a possibility that it could happen at some point, but not in the f= oreseeable future. Jeff -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-net@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-net@freebsd.org] = On Behalf Of Andreas Nilsson Sent: Thursday, February 12, 2015 10:54 AM To: FreeBSD Net Subject: Was Re: FreeBSD 10.1: Intel dual port 10GbE card (82599EB) second = port not present?: SFP+ on intel xl710 Hello, the discussion about unsupported sfps on intel card got an interesting turn today: a colleague wanted to do some pps (on linux) testing on an intel xl710 card, but the sfps we had was not supported. Reading the previous thread, I suggested there might be a sysctl to accept "other" sfps. Long story short, just for fun we booted a FreeBSD 10.1 system, and the card was recognized ( yay! ) but still "no carrier" from ifconfig. sysctl hw.ixl didn't show any tunables for "unsupported_sfp". Is this chip more picky about the tranceivers?
